Labor Day 2

So after breakfast Mark and I take off for the farm to return picnic tables to Rhonda's and Dianes, then over to the barn to clean stalls while Mark worked on the skid steer taking down trees. He also moved a couple of old round bales I wanted out of the main area. Then home with 2 of our tables that desperately needed washing, pig grease and lard all over them. I headed back to the lake after lunch and saw the ICC young group playing foot ball. It was a very intense game with lots of great plays.
Rhoda had Darcy with her and she was thoroughly enjoying the lake. She never did catch a fish though.


The football players finished their game and wanted to cool off so they all went over to Rachel's to go off the rope swing. As I was walking over to Rachel's her son Luke showed me some tricks on his skate board.

After the rope swing they had canoe races so by the time they were done all were soaked.




We had a fire going thinking they would like to warm up but instead they started some volley ball games.

Ruth and Fedi butchered a lamb today, Ruth cooked it and brought it over to share. It was really good but mom thinks they used too much garlic. Fedi loves coating his meat in garlic.

Spark and Rhonda came over for dinner and brought Tara, Jay, Mya and their new baby girl. Mya has the biggest blue eyes. The camera just doesn't do them justice.



We finished the day with singing around the campfire and cooking big slabs of bacon.

We were really enjoying the fire when Mike called. He was moving horses over from the cabin land to the paddocks and lost 3 of them. Autumn, Anni and Duke took off running down the trails. We were laughing, those horses got so used to going on the trails they just had to finish the weekend with running them one more time without riders. We took flashlights and rounded them up and put them away.
It is hard to realize the weekend is over. What a blessed 3 days!
